*There are many calims about high cycles and while they are true to some extent the are misleading. 3500 cycle life @ 100% Depth Of Discharge at 100% capacity. This equates to draining the battery 100% every day 3500 times, (around 10 years) youre left with around 80% capacity remaining after which will do another few thousand cycles. So while a battery will do 6000 cycles it wont do it at 100% capacity after its initial cycle life.

163AH Lithium Battery Review

By: on 7 August 2024
I was looking to upgrade the battery in the tub of my ute from an AGM battery to a lithium battery to reduce weight and increase battery capacity as well as to have the ability to power a 2000W inverter to run high power loads such as a kettle and to occasionally run an induction cooktop on low power as well as power my car fridge on our holiday adventures. I went to The 12 Volt Shop to purchase some cable and after discussing the project, the staff suggested their 163AH small footprint lithium battery which was built for this exact purpose. It was the same physical size as the 85AH AGM battery I was replacing but 10kg lighter. They took me out to the workshop where they assemble the batteries and I was able to see the internals of one. As an electronics technician, I was impressed by the Jaibaida 200A Bluetooth enabled BMS, the matched “A” grade CALB aluminium prismatic LifePO4 cells and the size of the busbars and cables used to minimise volt drop internally. They also use a separate Heltec 5 amp active cell balancer PCB rather than the internal BMS cell balancer which operates at a lower current. The price of the battery was very competitive with other similar spec’d batteries from other suppliers and being locally made, support is always available. I ended up purchasing one of the batteries, however when I connected it up to my inverter and ran a load test (150A), I found after about 10 minutes, the temperature of the negative terminal was about 50 degrees and the terminal voltage was measuring 500mV lower than the BMS voltage readout which seemed excessive. I contacted the 12 Volt Shop and explained my concerns. They said bring it back. They explained it could be a poor internal connection and offered me a replacement battery or my money back. I took them up on the replacement and was glad I did. The new one under the same 150A load test had half the volt drop and the battery terminal temperature was warm, not hot. I have since finished the install in my ute and tested the 163AH battery with my Kettle (143 Amps) and induction cooktop (110 Amps) and it powered them without a problem. Overall I am impressed with the battery and the excellent customer service I received from The 12 Volt Shop.
